Chapter 8: Invasion!
Courtney was glad that they picked Saturday morning to play Quidditch. It was perfect weather for Quidditch and they couldn't wait to play. The only problem was that they needed another team to play against. There was going to be 4 players on each team, I person for each of the positions. So, without a team to play against, Courtney, Harry, Ron and Cedric headed out to the field.
For about an hour they had contests with each other. But then, around, twelve o'clock, they saw a distant blur of red and green heading onto the field. 'Hey, Harry!' Ron shouted. 'Guess who?'
'I don't believe it' Courtney spat (A/N: It's an Oliver Wood moment!) as she flew down to the ground. 'This cannot be happening.' It was Malfoy, Cozette and the Riddle twins.
'Granger,' Malfoy sneered.
'Malfoy,' she sneered back. 'In case you didn't notice, we were having a game of Quidditch. Sort of.'
'Didn't look like it,' Veronica said. 'So we,' she nodded to her sister and the two Slytherins, 'decided to challenge you to a game.'
'That is, if you're not chicken,' Viviana said slyly.
'We accept,' they all said at once.
So it began. Malfoy and Harry were the Seekers, Courtney and Veronica were the Chasers, Cedric and Viviana were the Beaters and Ron and Cozette were the Keepers.
The first game wasn't so bad. Harry's team beat Malfoy's team and they wanted a rematch. Harry's team won a second time, and a third. By the 4th game, things were getting brutal.
The only disadvantage to having only one Chaser per team was that Courtney couldn't do her favorite tricks. She couldn't do her Triangle Trick Thingy (it required 3 people), and it was her most favoritest trick ever. The worst part was, Veronica kept on tailing her.
When Courtney scored the tying score- 80 to 80- Veronica started grinning evilly. Then, to Courtney's horror, she pulled out her wand. 'Oh, this is not good,' she whispered to herself as she stared into Veronica's cold green eyes.
